Training?

Training week in the BPL.

I often think about what the Brisbane Premier League will look like in 20 years. I think it will still exist, or at least some form of it will. Most likely it will be much the same as it is now, however there is a chance that it will be a much bigger and badder event. Clubs, teams, home grounds, away grounds, pie nights, etc. That is the version of the BPL that I like to ponder on.

Some time between now and my mega league of 2030 things will change. Team training will be a part of this change. This week the Buggers took a step the direction of the future with a team training. It was bloody good too.

In this extremely competitive league it was important for us to maintain the momentum that we had generated with our last 3 weeks of steadily improving performance. Offensive structure was the focus for our training. We ran a group of challenge drills with the Red shirt proving to be a little stronger than the first season rookie White shirt.

During our post training beer and chat session we learned that against long odds Manuel is in the hunt for the most focused Bugger with a copy of the draw printed out in his wallet. At one stage Buzz had us all sitting around like 3rd graders to hear some stories from the good old days. "it was a cotton shirt which I knew would be tough so I bit the collar. I then ripped the shirt in half right through the logo".

Top session from the boys, and an enjoyable chat and beerie to cap off the night. One step closer to the hard working teams of the near future, maybe?
